how do i use my words

Post by gin and kerosene » Sun Jun 10, 2007 5:10 am

ive never been one to talk much let alont tell people when they uspet me.
I usually harbor all my feeling until i feel like drving someone over. I know this is not healthy. I just rather let people walk all over me. I want to change but i dont know how. Im scared that Ill never have the confidance to speak up

could you...write down all the things that you have to say?
there is, in the end, the letting go.

I know someone who started just by saying "Ouch." when someone said something hurtful.

maybe start with something short verbally... then discuss it more, if needed, once you're not so upset....

I completely relate to what you are saying, i am exactly the same.

Buecase i am so terrible at talking to people in person, i find it easier over such things as msn, forums, etc.

Prehaps you could let all of your feelings out in a forum here?
Or feel free to add me on msn, (address in profile) I am more than willing to listen to you, and support you.

I understand how you feel, i have been there so many times.
What my friend does, is he gets a felt tip pen and writes down all of his problems on a mirror, a window, anything with a glass surface. Then he wipes them all away.

I've never tried it, but i imagine that it works extremely well.

I hope that you are okay, feel free to get in contact with me

Take care :star:
